GIMP for Linux

It's very likely your Linux distribution already comes with a GIMP package. It is a preferred method of installing GIMP, as the distribution maintainers take care of all the dependencies and bug fix updates.
Ubuntu, Debian

Ubuntu or Debian users can simply run apt-get install gimp to get the latest stable release of GIMP.
openSUSE

SUSE users can install GIMP by running yast -i gimp or zypper in gimp, depending on the distribution version.
Fedora

Similarly to the above, Fedora users can install the latest stable GIMP by running yum install gimp.
Mandriva

Mandriva Linux users can install the latest stable GIMP by running urpmi gimp.
Source for version 2.4 (Stable)

GIMP releases available from gimp.org and its mirrors contain the source code and have to be compiled in order to be installed on your system.

GIMP 2.4.3 is now available at ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v2.4/
